Description: "Canada has always been a trading nation." "Hart guides readers through more than three centuries of trade history. His engaging narrative explains how Canadians, who enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world, have largely come to accept the need for an open, well-ordered international economy. Close attention to trade and related economic policy choices, he argues, is crucial if Canada intends to adapt to the challenges of the new globalized economy."--BOOK JACKET.
